We’ve known for a while that Black households in Canada are more likely to experience inadequate or insecure access to food due to financial constraints, but little has been done to better understand this disparity.

This special podcast presentation explores our recent study, "Black–white racial disparities in household food insecurity from 2005 to 2014, Canada" published in the Canadian Journal of Public Health, available at: https://link.springer.com/article/10.17269/s41997-021-00539-y 

We spoke with:

Simran Dhunna, MPH, lead author on this paper
Melana Roberts, Chair of Food Secure Canada (https://foodsecurecanada.org/)
Andrée-Anne Fafard St-Germain, PhD
